"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The bug is triggered by destroying a user CQ through the RDMA uverbs ioctl on /dev/infiniband/uverbs*; although RoCE peers can generate CQ/NQ events, the premature free_page() only occurs in this local destroy path, not from remote packet handling alone.\nAC:L - An attacker controls CQ teardown timing via ibv_destroy_cq and can reliably create the race by keeping QPs active and/or soliciting CQ notifications (including from a cooperating RoCE peer) while destroy_cq runs through bnxt_qplib_destroy_cq firmware teardown.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires only local RDMA verbs access to create/destroy a user CQ on a Gen P7 bnxt_re device; uverbs char devices are created world-accessible (0666) and RDMA is commonly granted to unprivileged HPC/cloud/Kubernetes workload users rather than real root.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond the attacker (or compromised local workload) invoking CQ destroy on resources it already controls; remote peers may assist timing but do not need the victim to click, mount, or open files.\nS:C - On Kubernetes/HPC hosts that expose bnxt_re to containers/pods, triggering this host-kernel UAF from an unprivileged RDMA-enabled workload can corrupt host memory and enable container-to-host sandbox escape beyond the workload security boundary.\nC:H - This is a kernel write-after-free: an NQ interrupt writes a toggle value into a page already returned to the buddy allocator, enabling corruption of subsequently reallocated kernel objects and classic UAF-based information disclosure primitives.\nI:H - The interrupt path performs a controlled 4-byte write to freed kernel memory during destroy_cq, providing a heap corruption primitive that can be developed into arbitrary kernel write or code execution rather than being limited to a benign crash.\nA:H - Writing to a freed page during interrupt handling can oops/panic the kernel immediately, and repeated CQ create/destroy cycles let an attacker reliably induce host-level denial of service on RDMA-enabled systems."
